Unlike the previous reviewer; I called the company IMPEX inc. that makes this product and there is a big difference between the model sold by Sears (MD-9010) and the model MD-9010G that is sold by Walmart. The Sears model is the older model that was introduced in 2005. The much cheaper model carried by Walmart is the most current model which comes with a sturdier frame. It is no wonder why Sears was willing to price match an older model to Walmart's current model to clear the shelves for the newer ones.

I hate how the Smith is literally a pole and plastic at the end. Same as where the weights go.. but it is a great starter machine! It has all the motions you need for a great workout. I just hate the instructions. They are horrible but we did it! Also the bench foam came dented in but that is about it.. the smith machine not like gym you have to have weight on it in order for it to be steady.

The Marcy MD-9010G is a solid, quality machine. It has been a god-send recently in that I was a routine gym-goer that was displaced due to the pandemic. Really loving the ability to recreate so much of my lifting behavior in the comfort of my own garage.

I very much like using this smith machine. I think that it is a good piece of equipment and is pretty well built. I shopped around online and at several stores before ordering this one. I have used it a few times already and like the quality and ease of operation. The only complaint that I can think of is that it took about six hours to assemble. The bench is alot nicer than the one I had. It is very sturdy and you can incline or decline. I also like all of the accessories that came with it. There is the pull down bar, a rope, an ankle attachment, and another tricep handle and two handles like the ones shown in the picture. I also like the six pegs for weight storage. I think that for the money, it is hard to find a better quality unit and besides that, it was delivered to my door and I didn't have to figure out how to get it home from a store.

Bit of a late review but I've had my bench and weights approx 25 years now so thought this company deserved a review, I use the equipment 3-5 x every week and although the paint is chipped a bit and I'm missing some of the rubber parts for the feet, there's 25 years worth of wear and tear the equipment is still very capable of the job, so if youre in doubt I can't recommend this companies equipment enough.

I saw this marcy machine with the best price from walmart.com, but they did not have it in stock ended up purchasing at sears.com and matching walmart price. After openning all the boxes and spreading out all the parts, read that other people took 2 to 7 plus days to put together and some people just gave up, my family helping with handing me parts and just taking it slow and easy and paying attention, had it done in less then 8 hours, yes the instructions were hard, no part numbers on the parts, but if you go by hawaii standards you will do fine. after putting on weights and using, not bad for a cable machine using free weight plates, very smooth.

I bought this home gym about 6 months ago and I have enjoyed using it multiple times each week. The versatility allows me to do everything I used to do at the gym. Other reviews said it was hard to assemble, and I wouldnt say it was easy, but I also didn't expect it to be.

After reading all the reviews I decided to go with this machine, and i'm glad I did. I thought it would be difficult to put together, but it wasn't too hard. Took me about 8hrs. Parts were easy to find and everything was easy to id. After you understand the format of the instruction evrything just flows toghther. Was missing one part. I callled the company and had it delivered to my house in two days. Was able to assemble everthing without the missing part. After using it for about a week very impress. Can go from on station to another effortlessly. Can bench press, arm curl and lat pull downs witout moving weight or adjusting the machine. Safty. Can left, and squat with or without a spotter. So my teenage son can workout by himself. Also can store weights and bar. VERY NICE MACHINE!!

I've had the Smith Machine for about a month and am very satisfied with it so far. I researched product before buying and found reviews to be pretty on. The assembly was a bear!! It took me 6 1/2 hours. I am mechanicaly inclined but, parts are not marked so you need set up well. The pulley system might confuse people as well. That would be only downside so far. I would recomend this product to any one on a budget or not enough time to make it to the gym all the time.

I really like this system coupled with a separate purchase of Olympic weight plates. Even with that extra money I prefer this over the smaller sets with weight stacks on them. Two people assembly would be nice but wasn’t a necessity as I did it myself. Make sure you set your flat head bolts in the holes and use your socket set and a quality hex driver for the hex head bolts and you’ll have a much more enjoyable assembly. My only complaint would be at Marcy the manufacturer, for very poor assembly instructions.
